1. It is said that sending Christmas fruits on Christmas Eve is unique in China. Because people in China pay more attention to homophones, such as putting peanuts, red dates and lotus seeds under the quilt on their wedding night, which means "early (jujube) gives birth to a precious child". Christmas Eve is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day is 65438+February 25th, and Christmas Eve is the night of 65438+February 24th. Apple's "Ping" and its homonym are the auspicious meaning of Apple's "Ping" in China. So there is a custom of sending apples on Christmas Eve. Those who send apples on behalf of others wish those who receive the fruits of peace a safe and secure New Year.

Australians like to eat and drink. In the evening, the whole family and their relatives, friends or groups go to a restaurant for Christmas dinner. Christmas Eve dinner prepared a wealth of food, including preserved chicken, turkey, pork legs, wine, snacks and so on.

In the United States, there is a special food in Christmas dinner-roasted corn porridge, which is coated with cream and added with some fruits. It is sweet and delicious. In Denmark, when Christmas dinner begins, people must eat an almond pudding before they can start eating other things.

Romantic French people like to sing and dance on the night of February 24th, 10, intoxicated by the rich bouquet of brandy and champagne. Both the British and the Germans like to drink beer. In addition to binge drinking, British people also like to travel to other places, and more conservative families will get together on Christmas Eve.

English people have the most orthodox Christmas Eve and the longest history. They must eat turkey at Christmas. This custom has a history of more than 300 years in the west. It is said that on Christmas Day of 1602, a large number of immigrants from Britain arrived in the United States. At that time, there were only turkeys in Shan Ye, so they grabbed turkeys as the main course of the festival. Therefore, besides ham, vegetables, raisin pudding, fruitcake and cocktails, turkey is also indispensable in Christmas dinner. The Christmas dinner in England is roast goose, not turkey.
